Protocol Ratings

Acid Reflux RED

Acid Reflux Protocol

Orange juice is highly acidic (pH 3.3–4.2) and a concentrated source of citric acid. A single glass delivers far more acid than eating the fruit, making it one of the strongest dietary reflux triggers.

Low Sugar RED

Low Sugar Protocol

Orange juice contains approximately 8.4g sugar per 100ml. Without the whole fruit's fibre, the fructose is absorbed rapidly. A typical glass contains ~21g sugar.
